Thanks, I'm glad to hear thatShe looks like a Porcelain! It's a work in progress color so everyone has different ideas of what they want to achieve. I like the ones that have a little more lavender in their crest, personally.
I have a VERY small flock, she was the only Porcelain to hatch, and the cockerels I have are a Black from a Lavender pen and a Splash, their (really poor quality) pics are below. The pullets I have besides her are the one behind her in the second pic, unrelated, from a Partridge breeding (I will have to ask the breeder whether both parents are Partridge), and a Splash from the same breeder as the Partridge. I initially got Silkies strictly as a broody flock, but I am madly in love with them, I just adore their personalities. The last pic is of them with the RIR juveniles, the Splash pullet is in that and the pic of the Black cockerel. It has been very hot here the last week or so, it was probably over 90 when I took these pictures, so wing carriage may not be representative.
It's funny, DH asked if those two girls were a pair because they look so similar, and was bummed they're both girls LOL. Go figure, huh? The one with the darker head came out of a Partridge breeding, but I agree, they look very much alike - from two different breeders.
She's beautiful. Is she black or a dark blue?I'm loving this little pullet, too back she has leakage in her hackles. I'm not sure if I can part with her though.
